Aquaman Movie Takes Place After Justice League

In an interview with CinemaBlend, executive producer Charles Roven confirmed the solo film will contain story elements tied to the superhero team-up movie. "There will be some reference of something that preceded Aquaman that will be in Aquaman," Roven said. "I believe that is the intention."

Unlike the upcoming Wonder Woman movie (read IGN's review), which is set decades before the Justice League is formed, Aquaman will reference the events of Justice League in some capacity. "James [Wan] definitely knows where he's going with [Aquaman], and that movie takes place in a world where Justice League happened, and Man of Steel happened," Roven said.

Justice League hits theaters on November 17, while Aquaman will open in theaters on December 21, 2018.
